Name This Dish (because I sure can't)

I had this wonderful food at a French restaurant a while back, but for the life of me I can't remember the name. I am trying to recreate for a mother's day dinner for my wife. There were two versions one with cabbage, the other with spinach. The leaf was wrapped around a diced potatoe and onion filling (there may of been bacon wrapped around the cabbage as well). The potatoes were browned but soft cooked. This wrap (I think it was baked) was served with a filet mignon on top. It was the perfect compliment to the steak and for the life of me I can't remember what it was called. Any ideas?

Sounds good, but I have never heard of a French dish like that. I suspect the restaurant made it up. The cabbage and potatoes would make it a peasant dish while the fillet is out of place in peasant cooking.

Your best bet is to recall the restaurant you went to and ask for the recipe.

Well I'm just going to have to ask the groom's wife for the name of the restaurant. Peasant food is some of the best food. Anyone here a fan of pierogies? My wife's grandmother introduced me to this fine Slavic fare and I can't get enough of them. Unfortunatly, Houston isn't known for that type of food. You can't swing a dead cat and not hit a taqueria though. Yet another one of my favorite branches of food.

I absolutely LOVE peasant food. Most of the French dishes I make are peasant food.

I definitely will. It just went perfect with the filet. I was thinking of cooking some cocktail shrimp in the mix as well. Just thinking about it just makes this lame baked chicken i'm eating kinda dull.

Perogies are the best! My grandma makes them and they are to die for, I need to learn how to make her recipe because I tried another one and they weren't nearly as good as hers. She also makes amazing cabbage rolls, and sauerkraut buns ( homemade bread stuffed with hamburger, sauerkraut and bacon). Russian grandmas are awesome lol.

Mrs. T's just don't cut it. Pierogies are pretty simple but they are a lot of work to make. I've had them kraut style, potatoe and onion style, and even with prunes. I've always wanted to do some up with potatoe and jalapenoes for that Texas taste. I was told that this would be sacrilege and would be banished from the kitchen for suggesting such a thing. I find that the kitchen is one of those places where a man's culinary input is easily overridden.
